Zuppa di Fagioli Rossi (Red Bean Soup)

I love my slow cooker and I love the cooler months so I can get the full use out of it. Besides being a great time saving appliance (put everything in in the morning and dinner's done by night time), it's a great way to slow cook things like joints of meat, stews, casseroles and soups.

I love a good soup and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Italian food. If I could eat Italian food three times a day, I would (well, I try to). Instead of calling this soup a "Red Kidney Bean Soup", I'd rather put an Italian name to it and add the Italian flavour.

I've just commented on Mummy Mishaps slow cooker soup and up pops another! Quite a coincidence, seeing as I've never thought of cooking soup in the slow cooker before. Love the beans in this recipe. Next week's Recipe Shed theme might be a challenge: FLAVOURS OF THE SEA. I'm sure you've got some great fish and seafood down there. Keith (RHD)

My computer didn't seem to let me comment! Hopefully this will work- I think I need to invest in a slow cooker after seeing your and Mummy Mishaps' posts today- your soup recipe looks delicious, and healthy as well, I have never made bean soup, so I will try it! :)
